This amazing feat was brought together by the legends at Just Another along with 55+ Australian artists who created this rolling majestic beauty.

“Graffiti has shaped this city for decades. Since then many new writers and crews have helped continue this transformation from pure graffiti into urban and street art; becoming a collaboration of all things creatively expressed in public form. This collaboration offers up an opportunity to highlight the best of Melbourne’s graffiti writers and artists, in the largest moving public art gallery in Australia.”

“A major collaboration with Southern Shorthaul Railroad (SSR) will see Can’t Do Tomorrow artists transform a 22-carriage freight train into one of the largest moving outdoor galleries in Australia. Commemorating the rich history of train graffiti, the group of prolific artists transforming the train includes Merda, Sirum 1 and Kab 101. The partnership is a symbol of laying old grudges aside to celebrate the public form of street art. Once painted, the train will continue to transport grain through Victoria as a celebration of public art in motion.”
